[The Greatest Dog]

Its a very short spellcard so there is a much higher chance for the player to luck their way through that one than cards like VoWG or LFO.

Although you can still luck through VoWG if you power through it with Ma-*shot*.

So I decided to play SA with Marisa "It's okay to screw up if you bomb first!" C.

I bombed, survived some incredible stuff while invincible, the border ran out, and then I died within one second.

I laughed a little bit.  Then it happened again on the next spell card.

And again on Utsuho.  Twice.

...Really? <_<

At least PCB borders give .2 seconds of invulnerability after the border ends naturally.
But when I use a border in SA, I always become more reckless...
and it doesn't work.

When's the last time you used Marisa C?

I am... extremely unfond of MarisaC.
I used her once, and that's it.

She's really great/fun for Extra, actually. Good for practicing/getting better at it as well.

Beating Normal with her might be strange, though...

I would have failed my first extra clear if not for her.

BAAAW SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION

Well if you never bombed then there's probably good reason for that.

[LHCling]

I seem to be prone to falling into this never ending cycle.

[ふねん1]

Still experimenting with ReimuB in EoSD, because I really hate not being able to micrododge with MarisaA (even though the latter is otherwise better in every aspect). Doing Stage 3 Lunatic to practice Meiling. At her last card, I shotgun for a second, then start moving back down. All of the bullets are well above me, but out of nowhere, PICHUUUN!

...what the fuck EoSD?

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I don't think I want to scorerun IN now after trying stuff in spell practice. I can't milk Wriggle. I can't milk Mystia(not that she has anything good to milk), I can't milk Keine's midboss card, I can't milk Keine, I can't milk Marisa's stuff, I can't milk Reisen's stuff, and I can't milk Kaguya's stuff.

[DracoOmega]

Y'know, dedication is good and all. But I should probably stop running the same thing over and over again after I notice myself playing significantly worse than when I started. And then restarting if I have too many stupid deaths before stage 4 (which is happening increasingly often). If I never have to fight Rumia again, it'll be too soon -.-

[Janitor Morgan]

Trying to capture all the spellcards I've unlocked thus far in practice.

Astronomical Entombing is a huge pain with Alice solo. At least with Yukari, I can get Ran to lock on and just micrododge, but Alice has to be directly under Eirin in order to do any damage. >_<

[MTSranger]

Why the hell does invincibility runs out RIGHT when the bomb end?
Made me died in heaven and hell melt down 3 times in the row!
Totally ruined my 1cc.
I WANT MY 1CC ARRRHH!
At least I figured out how to no death stage 1-4.

[Sen]

...because the bomb ended?

[Alice★f]

Milk Keine HA!

@Topic

Another two fails at Subterranean Flower Rose. I lose my counting.

Try a Yuyuko solo. Has the same micrododge speed as Yukari, but the butterflies deal more damage than Ran.

I got caved by EX Keine.
Now I have to delete IN from my work computer.

[Rook]

and now, immediately after clearing PCB Lunatic, it seems Rook has met his match...

SA Normal :V

[LHCling]

Sans the obviously not awesome 2.00/1.50/1.50/1.29(or .30) shot, what am I doing different? It's like as if I need absolutely perfect precision with the timing on this.

[Arcengal]

I thought, for one tiny moment there, that I had stage 5 sorted. I captured Greatest Treasure on my first attempt of the day and got to Shou no-deaths.

Then I died 4 times to RTG.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Why am I dying to Fantasy Seal Fader constantly when nothing is touching me in spell practice. I'm worried this could possibly happen to me on a real run sometime, which would suck.

[DracoOmega]

Ok, SA stage 1 is seriously becoming the bane of my existence. It seems that I now either die to Well-dropping Bucket Monster or Yamame's opener the majority of the time, leading to a restart. And another. And another. I swear it's getting worse. I just made 7 attempts on the stage, and never once got to Yamame's first spellcard before restarting. Oddly, stage two is much easier to survive without dying, and nothing else in the game seems to involve as many fiddly annoying deaths. I just wish I could stop doing this stage over and over. >.<

[チソウ タイゼン]

I believe Horror "Well Bucket Dropping Monster" (?)  involves random bullets.
And Yamame's opener is admittedly more annoying than her second nonspell.

But stage 2, I find, is a lot worse than stage 1.

Someone once posted around here about SA:
Stage 1 is a Stage 2 in disguise.
Stage 2 is a Stage 1.5 in disguise.
Stage 3 is a Stage 4 in disguise.
Stage 4 is Stage 4...in disguise!
Stage 5 is OHGODWHATISTHIS
Stage 6 is a Stage 4 in disguise.

Or something extremely similar to that.  It was a ways back.

[omgrandomnumbers]

Stage 5 is OHGODWHATISTHIS

Seconded. When I feel as much accomplishment perfecting a Stage 5 (stage portion) as I do no-deathing a final boss, I know something's wrong.

[MTSranger]

Somehow I still die easily in stage 6 though.
For me, Stage 5 = Stage 6 survival wise because I bomb every single one of Orin's card and 3/5 of Okuu's card.
Okuu has more lives than Orin, so yeah. The stage portion can be perfected easily IMO, at least in normal.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

UFO Hard(and Lunatic)

Stage 1- probably more like Stage 3 for the stage part(on Lunatic, Hard is simple), boss is mostly fine.
Stage 2: Fine for a stage 2(on Hard at least) for the stage, Kogasa should be in stage 4 because that does not belong on stage 2
Stage 3: Typical Stage 5 difficulty
Stage 4: Just how it should be.
Stage 5: What the fuck is this shit? Shou is a fun boss(to watch people get owned by) but complete bullshit and not fun to fight yourself.
Stage 6: Fine for a final stage. Byakuren, So much clipdeath.

Hell, the game clipdeaths you way too much throughout.


Edit: Tried PCB Stage 6 Lunatic Perfect

Die to stage spam(seriously, how the fuck do you do this?), die to Deadly Dance twice, die to Ghost Knives, die to Flowery Soul, Die to Sumizome, die to Resurrection Butterfly. I think I'll stick with final stages that I actually have a chance of perfecting some day(FinalB)

Haha. Yeah, I can sort of see that. I certainly find stage 2 much easier than stage 1. Well, the STAGE part of stage 2 is extremely easy, even on lunatic (I think I may have died once, in all my numerous attempts), and Parsee is quite reasonable. It's not so much that stage 1 is hard, or anything. But I find it extremely irritating. Dying that early in the game almost demands a restart. And, frankly, I found the stage boring even BEFORE I starting seeing it many times more often than every other stage >.>
